Promotor Sampson Lewkowicz says Canelo Alvarez will never be a “biggest star in Mexico” unless he fights David Benavidez before Zam. Here’s the thing: Sampson says that if Canelo fights Benavidez (30-0, 24 ko), “knocked out, it will not be fun.”
In other words, Sampson sinks his own argument why Canelo should face the “Mexican monster”. Why would Alvarez want to fight someone who will beat him, especially when fighting in a slight heavyweight category and leaving the back backwards in the absence of appearance against David Morrell and Oleksandar Gvozdyk?
Benavidez’s humiliating
Benavidez, 28, picked up the former Cuban amateur star Morrell (11-1, 9 Kos) last Saturday night, fell at the 11th and looks like a shell from a grenade to a piece that returns to the front lines.
Morrell kicked all the cowardly from Benavidez in that fight. After that, beaten Benavidez looked meek, seemingly afraid to establish eye contact with Morrell and sound like a defeated fighter in interviews after the fight. Morrell threw out the stuffing from Benavidez, leaving a broken soldier who saw the fans after that.
We pray for the opportunity
“I wouldn’t say that to the fighter. I’d say that to Eddy Reynos. Continue doing a good job. Don’t face Benavides because they will knock out Canela. It will definitely not be fun, believe me,” Sampson Lewkowicz said Sean Zittel When asked if David Benavidez’s performance against David Morrel would make Canelo Alvarez less likely to fight him.
“He is [Benavidez] Much stronger, much bigger, and I don’t believe it will attract it more. I believe Benavidez earned the top 10 pounds per kilogram. I believe he does his inheritance. No more canal. Canelo released him because when he retired, he would be a “Mexican monster” and that would not be Canelo.
“He probably has a fight or two fights more. By next year, he won’t be Canelo again and he’ll never get the opportunity to be the biggest star in Mexico because he didn’t fight Benavidez. He wouldn’t take the opportunity. He didn’t have a chance for the last two years. In order to use now the opportunity when he struggles with Crawford. “
A game of shame
It sounds like Sampson is trying to try the same tricks as Benavidez to embarrass Canelo to fight the ‘Mexican monster’. He will not work because Canelo can see through the trick, and he will not manipulate these games of mind.
Benavidez and Sampson use Tactics of embarrassment to attempt to control and manipulate Canelo to give them the fight they were looking for. Benavidez can get a lot of money from the fight against Canel, so he will not stop using different tactics to press him to give him what he wants – the day pays.
“Then he would ask for another pronunciation,” Sampson said about what Alvarez would do after Crawford beat. “So we’re no longer talking about Canela. I believe in September. Maybe because, most likely, she’ll be too busy, Canelo. So it’s a great opportunity [for Benavidez to fight]”Sampson said.
Canelo has already excluded the fight against Benavidez, saying he did not like his approach to the fight. It is unclear why Sampson is still talking about this fight. Benavidez has to focus on being relevant at 175, because last Saturday night he looked like a starter with 11 fights by David Morrela.
If Morrell had more experience, he would knock out Benavides last night by pressing him from the beginning and not waiting until the championship began to put the heat under the back. Benavidez was breaking from the pressure of the Cuban strength from the round of 10 to 12.
